About

Who am I and what am I all about?

Well my name is Kate Armin and I am a married mother of three beautiful daughters. I juggle work with the school run, cooking tea and walking the dog and I am passionate about getting people to exercise and live a healthier lifestyle.

I have always been an active, sporty person even through my teenage years and I kept working out all through my pregnancies. After having 2 daughters by the time I was 21, I turned my passion for working out into a career. This fitted in around my girls perfectly.

Then we had our third daughter when I was 26. After the pregnancy, I went straight back to teaching classes but something didn’t feel right. I was struggling to lose the baby weight despite doing everything right (or so I thought) and I was also incredibly tired, exhausted even.

It quickly became apparent that all this time I thought I was doing all the right things. Such as long, long, long sessions of cardio, staying away from weight training (for fear of bulking up), thinking that a diet coke was a healthy option, using low fat margarine, sweeteners, looking at the fat content of everything rather than how processed something is, eating lots of fruit (not that fruit is not healthy, it is but snacking on large quantities is not going to help your fat loss), missing the importance of relaxation and taking time out just for yourself. I was actually making myself fatter all while I thought I was being healthy.

Well I want to bust that myth.

This is not about having a six pack and bulging biceps – it’s about finding a balance that’s achievable to us all.
